For what it's worth, this is what a lot of guys are doing today, with the exception of the dish detergent. That practice started many years ago, almost exclusively with Firestone/Firehawk/Phoenix bias ply slicks. The rubber that made up the sidewalls was so thin that you could wet a mounted tire with soapy water and watch all of the little bubbles form on the surface. They would often go flat in a couple of days. I could certainly be wrong, but I don't know of another tire (especially any radial) that exhibited that behavior.

Hoosier = no soap and no leaks!

Further, it's the year 2018, who runs rim screws?

I go 1 teens in my door car and 1.0 in my dragster in 60 foot without rim screws!
